Timothée Chalamet Is THE KING - First Trailer For David Michôd's Historical Drama

First look at the upcoming Netflix original.

Timothée Chalamet plays a young King Henry V in director David Michôd's historical drama The King, co-written with Joel Edgerton, who also stars in the film as the knight John Falstaff. Sean Harris, Lily-Rose Depp, Robert Pattinson and Ben Mendelsohn round out the cast.

Hal, wayward prince and reluctant heir to the English throne, has turned his back on royal life and is living among the people. But when his tyrannical father dies, Hal is crowned King Henry V and is forced to embrace the life he had previously tried to escape. Now the young king must navigate the palace politics, chaos and war his father left behind, and the emotional strings of his past life — including his relationship with his closest friend and mentor, the ageing alcoholic knight, John Falstaff.

"A heartfelt tribute to those who make it out the other side of toxic partnerships, and to those who succumb along the way."
